Posh macaroons anyone?

[TheSkiingGardener]

Ok, I've just come back from visiting Switzerland and have set myself the challenge of making some Luxemburgerli for NYE. Hopefully they will come out like http://www.spruengli.ch/luxemburgerli.php these

Has anyone any hints, tips or recipes? I think I may be overtaxing myself here but I'd like to have a go.

Blast.

I made some Hugh Fernley-thingummy's chocolate macaroons on Monday. They are dead easy. I didn't do all the piping and fillings etc though. Not big on presentation. They were all gobbled up pretty sharpish. Let me find recipe...

Here.

That looks like a lovely recipe. I'll give it a go and see how they come out.

One month to practice, I think I'm going to need a lot of eggs!

The egg yolks can go into making Panettone teacakes.

Ah ha, you guessed what my next thread was going to be then

I only made the macaroons from leftover egg whites from making cornish pasties myself.
